Get Google Now Alert Sound with Tasker - How To - Amazon Fire Phone

Copied this from a reply I made on another post but it's super helpful so I'm putting it here, too.
Google Now Alerts keep defaulting to silent after you lock your screen so I came up with this...
I got alerts working with Tasker. Method was to:
Create an Event - UI - Notification
Owner Application = Google
New Task - Name "Alert" (optional but recommended)
Add Action +
Alert - Notify Sound - Title "whatever you want" - Sound file = "whatever you want" (Defaults are located in System/media/audio/notifications)
go back
Add another action +
Task - Wait - 2 sec
go back
Add another Action +
Alert - Notify Cancel
go back
Done.
(I actually added Alert Sound - wait 1 - Alert Sound - continue) so it would play the alert twice but thats up to you.
Notify Cancel, keeps the Tasker Alert icon out of your Notification Drawer.
Tasker does not need to be run in foreground for this to work so change it in Tasker Prefrences to keep the Tasker icon out of Notifications, as well.

[Q] Whatsapp unread count widget

Hello,
Is there any application fo unread texts from whatsapp? Similar to sms unread count?
What is my point i have widgetlocker without notification bar so i dont want to unlock phone all the time to check whatsapp msgs
Any advice is good advice. Thanks
I'm pretty sure there isn't, but give feedback to the developers of whatsapp and tell them to do a widget which shows the amount of unread messages. They could possibly do it.
I did 2 months ago
Well.. Then I guess I'll do that too now and see if they'll do something.
great idea!! ill write a message as well...
Any news? :-( i bought this app and they cant reply simple mail? Really disapointing... :-\
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
They must be very busy... an app like this haas got to be on all platforms, otherwise it's useless.
Anyway, I'm emailing them now! Definitely need an unread count widget on the WidgetLocker screen
Will not be better to contact other developers? I cant imagin how hard is make notification for Whatsapp.... :/
I want this too, but the developers of WhatsApp are pretty slow at replying to emails and adding new features
Yes, you can!
Missed it! Will work.

What?
Hi! I do it with Tasker, its only plus 1 when arrive a Whatsapp notification and return to 0 when I open it (if I not read this messages, counter go to 0 too xD)
Put this icons in /sdcard/tasker/.icn/whatsapp/
mediafire. com /?seos0jth6frodu5 (separated because I can't add URLs )
Create a Tasker widget called "Whatsapp" that only, open it
Create a Task called WhatsAPP:
When open whatsapp
-Variable %WPP = 0 and mathematical
-Tasker -> Change icon: Push search icon and select widget "Whatsapp", then select icon (i selected icon without number)
Another Task called WPP Notification:
When arrive a notification from whatsapp
- +1 to %WPP
- Tasker -> Change icon: Push search icon and select widget "Whatsapp", then select correct icon and mark "if", %WPP = 1, (be carefully, its "mathematical equal", not ~, maybe it works but I prefer use "=")
-Do this last step for each number (%WPP=2, %WPP=3...%WPP=9)
-Finally, do same step but with %WPP>9
This can do with a loop, but when I do it, I was testing, and I won't change it now . If somebody do it with a loop or do it better, please post it for other users (and me!)
PD: I do it to Maildroid/K9 and eBuddy (eBuddy don't work ) too

Could you please explain more thoroughly how does Tasker know if there a new message recieved in Whatsapp?
I'm trying to make a Minimalistic Text widget displaying the number of unread Whatsapp messages...
You do a second task to manage notifications, this task is active when arrive a notification (event-> Alert >notification), on notification window, you can select if you want "any notification" or a "specific-prgram notification", you select whatsapp
Then when this trigger succes, you add +1 to variable and update icon
but you have a notification in statusbar if there are any new whatsapp msgs available..
sometimes i miss the feature for the lockscreen but i dont think this is a big problem
Guys, again the same stupid question... I didn't get how Tasker knows if there any message received in Whatsapp?
So I'm creating new profile to handle Whatsapp messages and what First Context should I use for this?
Yes, you have notification on status bar too, I won't remove it but I think that is posible quit after update unread counter
Acyxou, follow this steps
1. Create a new context, called, Whatsapp event, for example
2. Select "Event"
3. Select "IU"
4. Select "Notification"
5. On "Source application", push square colour icon at right, it open you apps list
6. Select Whatsapp and finish
Inside this context, you must add a task that adds +1 when detects a notification, how do this task is explained up
This is great but!

Lockscreen Notification Privacy Settings

The lockscreen privacy settings has 3 options:
1. Show all notification info - self explanitory
2. Hide sensitive info - only shows the app name that has notified you
3. Do not show any notifications - self explanitory
My question is with regard to option #2:
When I receive text messages, I'd like to know who is sending the message, but I don't want the message contents to be displayed on the lockscreen. Is there any way to make this happen?

Suggestions for improving software for Huawei Watch GT 2

Suggestions for improving software for Huawei Watch GT 2
1 : Sync all the contacts on the phone , not just 10 contacts
2 : If the phone is in silent mode, the watch should be in silent mode also
3 : Add an application to record audio clips through the built-in microphone with the watch
4 : When the Bluetooth connection with the watch is lost , there will be alert for that by vibration and msg , and there should also be an alert when the Bluetooth connection returns again
5 : Show full notification text not part of it
thanks
Re: Suggestions for improving software for Huawei Watch GT 2
I think you're ideas are great so I've put my thoughts on each one. Hopefully more people will comment!
1 : Sync all the contacts on the phone , not just 10 contacts
Great idea but remember smart watches don't have huge storage. We have 2.1gb free I believe on initial startup.
2 : If the phone is in silent mode, the watch should be in silent mode also
Absolutely agree...
3 : Add an application to record audio clips through the built-in microphone with the watch
Again need to think of memory restraints, but a low bit rate 'voice notes' facility would be cool.
4 : When the Bluetooth connection with the watch is lost , there will be alert for that by vibration and msg , and there should also be an alert when the Bluetooth connection returns again
Agreed. Goodness knows why there isn't already!
5 : Show full notification text not part of it
Agreed. Plus the ability to reply maybe? I loved this in my Huawei Watch 1.
6. I'd also add... Bring NFC to GT2's outside China! I'm guessing it's the same hardware, just disabled in the OS!
7. Add SPO2 (oxygen saturation of the blood) - as this is mentioned as an option in at least one how to for the watch... Is it China only again?
Let's hope Huawei monitors this forum and gets some ideas to improve Lite OS further.

Im really missing the "next calendar appointment" feature on this watch. I had the vector, that had a "calendar app" and an upcoming event widget on the watchface of the Vector Luna. Just bought a GT2 and didn't realise that I actually will start to miss the calendar appointment info so much heads up Huawei!
Otherwise its a suitable upgrade for me from Luna (with broken screen)
Agree with your proposals,
from my side it would also be great if we could have an airplane mode
- Ability to set custom watch faces with standard app
- Ability to access details on screens accessed with left/right slides
- Ability to have lamp torch light progressive to avoid dazzling
- Ability to have more video controls with chromecast/netflix

Great ideas.
Hopefully the custom faces will be with us very soon once the Chinese beta closes. [emoji1696]

And also :
- show full sender on notifications
- show smileys (and photos?) in notifications
- avoid duplicates in notifications (in whatsapp for instance)
- ability to delete notification from summary without going to details
- navigate directly through notifications details without returning to summaries
- use more space for titles in sound/video control
- ability to customize main menu entries, and set others in a folder
adding an interval timer (high interval, low interval, warm up, cool down, number of reps or infinite reps)
1. CUSTOM WATCH FACES!!!!
2. In addition to silent as already mentioned, sync Do Not Disturb settings from phone to watch
3. Ability to set function to buttons double-click (Eg. I set down button to flashlight, but this isn't of much use during the day)
4. Ability to define your own timeout for the watchface to turn off after.
5. "Shake wrist to wake screen" as well as "Raise wrist" option...If both are set, then need to do both
Why here and not on some Huawei support forum?
If someone knows an email or any contact channel for Huawei Technical Support
please send these suggestions.
Agree totally to “gaminox”
- show full sender on notifications
- show smileys (and photos?) in notifications
- avoid duplicates in notifications (in whatsapp for instance)
- ability to delete notification from summary without going to details
- navigate directly through notifications details without returning to summaries
- mark as read in notifications
Training Mode:
- Possibilty to leave the Training Mode in the background to home screen
- Possibility to switch Playlist in trainingmode
Music Player:
- Not only the possibility to choose playlists but as well artists or albums
Display:
- Wake up from standby-watchface through gesture

Because you get automated or pre written answers and Huawei never does anything about solving big issues. Mine is that there is no way of shutting off Bluetooth.
Show maps and load/follow tracks in the whatch with the map in the screen.
Add more map layers in the huawei health app.
